6 simple ways to boost employee engagement in your business
Boosting employee engagement can make a real impact, both to your staff and your business as a whole. Follow these six steps to make this a reality.
Sage HR solutions help you apply the time management techniques for your employees to meet all their deadlines.
What is time management? Simply put, time management is how you prioritise tasks and juggle multiple demands. It’s measured by how effectively you plan your day to get the most done. Good time management lets you work smarter, so you get more done faster. Failing to properly manage your time can drastically impact your team, company, and overall performance.
In order to properly plan your day, it’s important you know what requires your time.
Specific objectives help guide you through your day, week, or even month. These objectives should include set deadlines to help with motivation.
A list helps you plan your day, see what you need to do and keep track of tasks. So much so, Sir Richard Branson credits his success to to-do lists.
Sort your to-do list into high to low priorities. Knowing what to focus on first and identifying important tasks ensures your efforts aren’t wasted on the wrong things.
It’s important to remove or at least minimise distractions. Otherwise, your day could become unproductive. Try using set periods to check emails and avoid social media.
Multitasking doesn't work. By switching between tasks, you ultimately take longer to complete anything. Instead, focus on one task and group similar tasks together when working through your to-do list.
Teamwork is key to efficient time management. Try asking co-workers for help managing tasks that aren’t your top priority but still need to be completed. This will save you time and give them the opportunity for growth.
Overworking is detrimental to your health and the business. Make sure to take regular breaks, get fresh air, and step away from your desk. Remember high-quality work does not equate to high-quantity.
